More information about learning methods and activities will be provided at the start of the semester
Further on evaluation
All mandatory work requirements must be approved in order to sit the final written exam. Information about requirements for the number of approved exercises will be given at the start of the semester.
Assessment consists of an exam (30%) and portfolio (70%). The folder contains 3 projects: making a poster, a video project and a case-based project with report submission that count for 15%, 25% and 30% respectively.
In the case of improving portfolio assessment in the subject, all assessment (portfolio + exam) must be repeated. Retake of exam only can be done independently.
In the case of applications for credit, approval and adaptation of subjects from previous cohorts or other institutions' equivalent educations, each application will be processed individually and the applicant must be able to take into account credit reduction for overlapping subjects.
